Xbox One
 
Xbox One is being revealed right now. Comes with Kinect, three OS', new d-pad, Xbox One can stream shit to tablets/phones, picture on picture type feature, ie look at a Youtube guide while playing a game. No games yet.

Dynamithix 05-21-2013 09:36 AM

xbox has no games

yet

All the "gameplay footage" looks so much like CG. It's hard to believe they aren't trying to fool us.

They showed EA sports games, Forza 5, and Quantum Break-new game from Remedy. They have more games in development now than ever before. 15 exclusives published in the first year of Xbox One, 8 of them new IPs.

Dynamithix 05-21-2013 10:11 AM

Remedy's new game seems like an interesting concept (even though I was hoping for Alan Wake 2) and the new Kinect actually looked like it works. Gotta wait for E3 to see some proper games.

The new controller looks pretty awesome.

Everything about the entire event was ridiculous.

Unless you like watching sports TV, I guess.

Brief summary of the conference before the reveal:
EA Sports
EA Sports
EA Sports
Oh hey this is the box. See? Cool, now Call of Duty.
Call of Duty.
Has a lot of dogs now.

We also added AI to it.
We also added dogs.
It'll be the best Call of Duty ever, and the best Call of Duty we ever made, and the best Call of Duty ever.
Oh, and we put dogs in it.

Thanks for coming guys, bye.
*conference over*

Havoc 05-21-2013 10:19 AM

I only saw CG footage in the few minutes I watched.

Paul 05-21-2013 10:23 AM

Seemed like a waste of time, also there was a lack of any sort of giant enemy crabs.

Manco 05-21-2013 10:23 AM

My favorite thing was that the very first developer they called to the stage was an EA rep.

and they played the EA Sports sting as he walked onstage

Why in seven bloody hells are they calling it Xbox One?

PC it is.

Dynamithix 05-21-2013 10:56 AM

Really, really pissed off about the arcade/downloaded games not carrying over thing. Seriously, Microsoft? That deflated my hype a lot. A lot.

Crashpunk 05-21-2013 11:00 AM

Nothing like a good laugh to cheer yourself up.

Jbot123 05-21-2013 11:11 AM

Please excuse me if I decide to stick with Sony this round.

Varrok 05-21-2013 11:14 AM

Why is this new Xbox so damn ugly? The pad looks fine, I guess, but the console itself looks like it was made from junk parts

EDIT: Just take a look at it:

my old VCR looks more modern than this

Vyrien 05-21-2013 11:29 AM

It actually looks almost exactly like this old German stereo player my dad had about 20 years ago. Going for the retro feel MS?

STM 05-21-2013 11:33 AM

Just seems like a fad to me really. It's not focused on what it's supposed to do...play bloody games. I have a laptop for Skype and browsing the internet and I can make calls on my phone if I need to. I want an Xbox (lol) because I want to play games. Also I love that they showcased so many titles from a company voted the worst in the world two years running. Yeah, fuck you EAsoft.

Strike Witch 05-21-2013 11:39 AM

Looks like a perfectly fine console, I'll wait to see what the launch titles are.

Daxter King 05-21-2013 11:45 AM

If you post that Sony stock image you are a simpleton and likely a Sony shill. Look at the time frames of the actual conference and the Sony stock.

"It has no games!"

More games are in development for it than in Xbox history, 15 exclusives in the first year.

"It blocks used games!"

90% of PS4 used games will also be blocked.

"It's not backwards compatible!"

Neither is PS4, but it's still shitty.

MS peeps were talking up games being at E3 before the reveal for days, so its clear they're saving their big guns till then.

Jordan 05-21-2013 11:57 AM

I really like the controller, but it doesn't exactly sell the console for me.

I don't know, I'm becoming less and less interested in consoles, especially when they have irritating features such as having to pay extra for second hand games. Yes, I understand it's already gone that way with most PC games, but PC games are a lot cheaper anyway so it doesn't make a difference. Console games however are usually £40-£50 new (may be even higher in the new generation), and eliminating the ability to get cheap second hand versions is absolute bullshit.

OK

Auriel 05-21-2013 12:27 PM

Some of you will probably hate me for saying this but I'm not at all surprised that it was Microsoft that decided to refrain from producing a more traditional gaming console in favor of, essentially, a souped-up iPhone with sharper edges and a controller. I may really be quick in such judgements but it seems inevitable that certain big-name companies in the gaming industry deviate from what they set out to do to satisfy the masses. And no, I'm not in support of Sony either, but in all honesty the PS4 will likely enjoy far more popularity in the current gaming community. Sort of like the PS3 did this generation.

Hazel-Rah 05-21-2013 12:46 PM

I'll reserve judgement until E3, but that's only like three weeks from now...they couldn't have shown a few teaser trailers today?

STM 05-21-2013 12:53 PM

That spike in the Sony shares is actually hugely interesting, Microsoft or Xbox if it's an actual subsidiary of Microsoft (I don't know if it is or not) are going to be financially damaged from that and in my eyes. If the market speculates that the Xbox One is going to be that bad...they are going to potentially run into a lot of trouble when it comes to release.

OANST 05-21-2013 12:59 PM

No backwards compatibility, and Microsoft having created an atmosphere of distrust and chaos in the platform they made blow up (downloadable games) means I won't buy. I doubt we're getting another Braid, or N+, or Super Meat Boy out of their consoles. No one wants to pay $40,000.00 to patch a game if they don't have to.

You are all forgetting the most important, canine, factor here.

Daxter King 05-21-2013 01:21 PM

MS reps on twitter are saying there is no fee to used games, and they are working to get the articles saying that there is down.

Wait, where was it stated that PS4 will also block used games?

Wait, where was it stated that PS4 will also block used games?

It is up to publishers on PS4, and if the XO versions are used blocked, I have no doubt the PS4 versions of those games will also be. So Sony might not do it to their games, but that will be a small portion of the total games on PS4.

MS has tried and failed to clarify on what their system for used games will be. Phil Spencer said there will be a fee to play a used game, since all games will be installed and you don't need the disc after installing. He also said you can bring it to your friend's places, you just have to sign into your account. It also sounded like multiple accounts will be able to play games on the same XO. You will be able to sell and buy used games, but he didn't say as to whether or not you will have to pay for the used game in the store and a fee. It's still very muddled.


Quantum Break and Forza 5 have been confirmed as not CG, running on XO hardware. No word on the EA game stuff, but those two looked better than any of that IMO.

Strike Witch 05-21-2013 10:16 PM

Do you have a link, though?

Like, a statement where publishers or whatever had said.
